June 24, 2023 - My last bottle. First day still a bit subdued, but the second day: wow, this is singing. Almond paste, Marzipane, herbs, lemon curd, lemon zest. Creamy, herbaceous body with wonderful lemon stream of acidity with some apricot kernel bitter notes at the end. 93-94

May 22, 2023 - PnP: golden yellow, slightly reductive nose, honeyed, smooth, borderline flabby, apple tart, anise, lasting finish elevates overall. Well-stored bottle. Drink up.

May 30, 2022 - Dark golden yellow. Slightly oxidised style. Wonderful Christmas apple crumble nose. More advanced than my last bottle, so no citrus and agrumes flavors, but more spices and even a hint of liqorice lurking in the back layer. Perfect integrated vanilla oak. Creaminess and acidity in perfect harmony. On the palate: apple crumble and a very beautiful grippy taste of anise. Nose ever changing and evolving (a hint of lilac after an hour…) Started this with 93, now it is at 94. This wine makes me happy. Might 95 be in sight?…
